"Batman's here!"
What you can't see is the Batmobile in flames just off camera!
Americans really are idiots. Someone wrongfully killed, I know let's burn down a dozen cities. I struggle to understand why anyone would chose to live in some of the places. I'm sure there are some perfectly reasonable people over there, but they appear to have quite a high number of lunatics. Clearly being governed by the biggest of all isn't ever going to help the situation.
An old Japanese colleague of mine narrowly avoided being the victim of a drive by shooting in a bar near one of our factories over there (Orangeburg, South Carolina).
I get that, but burning buildings ain't going to change a thing. Protest by all means, but what is happening won't help the cause. Mind, more than likely the protests have been hijacked by others.I think "someone wrongfully killed" might be not a complete picture of the "white cop on black people" violence that is perpetrated on them on a daily basis

There will some "bad actors", no doubt.
At what point do you decide "enough is enough"? Disenfranchised people have very little to lose...

It's not just rioting and looting though is it, as if that isn't bad enough (I wonder how all the ordinary decent working class victims feel about their businesses and livelihoods being destroyed). Two other people have also been killed during this 'protest'. The initial death was inexcusable on any level and the subsequent violence, destruction and deaths are also inexcusable on any level. The people involved are all responsible for their own actions; politics is no excuse for individual actions.
Where did I condone or fail to recognise racism and American history? I just choose to condemn sickening violence in all forms.Utter rubbish. A typical right-wing response. Try living in a society that is fundamentally biased against you, kills your kind based on skin colour, fails time and again to listen to your greviances and then blames you for it.
Fuck off.

Notty, As you're asking, murder is equivalent to murder in my opinion. Where have I said there are no power imbalances or I fail to recognise the hideous history of racism in the US; I choose to reject all murder as acceptable, I choose not to differentiate. Ask yourself, is the murder of the two people in protest to the original murder not equivalent? Are you suggesting the murder of the two people is an acceptable response to the initial murder? I don't assume I know what you are thinking I choose to ask.

Two people it has been reported have been shot dead during the protests. Sadly I do not profess to have any answers as to what the solution is but that doesn't mean that retaliatory violence and murder are excusable or answers in my opinion. On the contrary in my opinion it just adds to entrenched division. Out of interest Notty do you think that violence and murder are the solution and if not what do you think black people in the US should do about being executed by white cops?I'm not sure what murders you're referring to but you've failed to answer my question about
You've failed to answer my question. What should black people in the US do about being executed by white cops?
Until you answer that all your responses are mealy-mouthed apologetic right-wing excuses for whire violence against black people.
